i turn the a/c on and off and when i do i hear a hissing sound, turned on defroster and compressor still didnt cut on

I would see if a local garage can take a quick look and determine if the compressor is bad. Other than that, you will just be guessing and that could be expensive.

You could also have a problem with one of the pressure switches. You would need to jump the connector at the pressure switch and see if the compressor kicks in then. I would probably have it checked or check it further yourself before just replacing the compressor. That could be very expensive and still not fix your problem.[/code]

ok found out it was the a/c compressor and receiver drier, petro wanted 700-800 dollars to fix and also said could be more cuz doing a/c work is "snowball work" you fix one problem and something else comes up, so i said forget it and went on, ill have to wait to get it fixed whenever i get home i thought that price was redicolous!!!!!

Hopefully you can buy and replace the parts yourself and then just have it charged by a small garage. Try buying your parts online. Keep us posted as to what it costs and other things involved.

i dont know how much the reciever drier costs.....i imagine not more than $100 but ive found a new a/c compressor on ebay for 140$(brand new) freightliners cost......240 something i believe,, it looks kinda simple to install, is something in there pressurized? im worrying about unscrewing something and having something either burn me or give me frostbite :lol:
